web

time just adds
extra complications.
hidden in unsaid words
and bitten lips.
knowing and waiting.
and watching the unaware.
time just weaves
it's web tighter and tighter
around you,
making it harder,
refusing to let you leave.
tying you down.
time just wastes
love and possibilities.
what could be is set off
postponed, and deferred
and you waste away
waiting for the inevitable.
time just leaves
its mark on everything you do
on everything and you.
days pass and you lose yourself
feel yourself slipping away
losing grip and all your best intentions
just time
